 sales of wheat and cotton and corn sa,
 bacon, and dairy products to Gren
 BI.Lsit hss iIa,-.ssed iD s.ie s.ieN Ias. Tes as compared with the preceding year while those of al, other countrles have, ID nearly every case, fallen of.
 We furnished her in the year just euded OveT one-half of the wheot che irported, over three -fourths of the four she bought, practically all of her corn, nine -tenths of the fresh beef that she imported, four-ffths of her bacon snd nog products generally, and three fourths of her cotton. While on this general subject il may be of interest io note some facts as to who our best customers abroad are, and where our ex- portGtions go.
 Of our sixty millions of corn exported in the year just ended little over hall went to Great Britain and IrelI nd. six millions or 80 of bushels 10 British North Ameries, three or four million bushels to Germany, and the balance scattered Gll over the world. France. the other European countries, Mexico, Cen. iral .AmerIca, West Indles and South America.
 Of the ninety million bushels of wheat ia the year just ended, nearly one-hGli have gone to Great But8in and Ireland and about one-fourth to France, very lit- '.C to Germaoy. five ar six million bush els 70 British North America, and the balance soa.tersd promicuouFly. Of the two IcI..iJn pounds of cotton sent abroud, a little over half TeEt tu Great Britain, couple of hundred mil. lion pOunds tJ Germany. and Gs much Co France, little to British North AmsrI- Ca, and the balance scattered mostly through Europe,
 We sent abroad In the last year over two hundred million yards of cotton cloth, of which threefOurths were un- ,olored. or thIs over ore-thiTd went to Chinn, fifteen million yards or so to .he Wes, Indies, lF much more 10 the Argentine Republic, twelve million yarls to Africa, seven or eight million Go Brazil, ls much more to Mexico, about he same amount to iho United States of Columbia, fifteen million yards tO Asia, outside of China and Oceanica,
 Our exportaiion of petroleum iH the year amounted io about forty million dollars in value, nearly five hundred million gallons. Of thIs about Q hun trCd million gallons went to Great Britain and Ireland, half million gal ions to our neighbors on the west Australia, Asia and Oceanica, and the balance scattered promiscuously all over he world. There Is scarcely Q country DOW, ID the civilized or semi-ciyIlized world. that is not enlightened by our coal oil.
 The British and Irish seem to have 0 very thoroughly cultivated taste for Onr 9afk prOdlc for they take of our ba- con about four-fi and of cur ham about the same proportion. They do not exhibit so great a fondness for our isrd, however. though they take noGrly . hundred million pounds a year of 1t Germany, however, makes up some of her losses in the prohibition of Ameri- can pork. by buying freely of our lard. Her purchases of American lard n the year just ended, are considerable over l hundred million pounds, while France takes about forty millions, other coun- tries of Europe sixty millions altogether, the West Indies forty milliong, British Worth America fifteen millions. Our western neighbors who are so fond of cur cotton apd coal oil, don't seem tO la1e much to our hog, for while cur bs- con ard ham and Hard go pretty much al over the world, only R very small propurt.on go to Asia. Africa takes even less than Asia. It seems curious that thIs country which imports sevea- tights of its sugar for home consump- ton, should have been exporting sugar n the past year. yet the reports Of the GUS tom houses of the country show that there have been nearly two hundred million pounds of refined sugar sent sbrosd from here. This is mostly sugar which is brought in III the raw state from CGba and after being refined and prop erly ssnded at the great refineres ID New York and elsewhere, is sent to the markets of the world. or this about :hree-tour.hs goes to Great Britain and Ireland.
 Our cxpOrtations of tobacco in the year just ended amount to over three hundred million pounds, of value of St thirty million dollars. This goes to Great Britain and Ireland. Germany, France and other European coun- tries, British North America, Mexico, Central Americs, South America, Asia. Ocean ics and Africa. The whole world seems tO be chewing and smoking Ameri- can tobacco. Even the West Indies from which We get tobacco for our best cigars bought millions of pounds of tobacco from US. Great Britain and Ireland and Germany took each about seventy five million pounds. France Gbort hElf as much, and the other countries of Europe a hundred millions. while the balance was scattered promIcuOusly.
 The American seEing machine seems 70 have acquired fame ID every part ot the world. During the year it-hss been sent Co Great Britain. Ireland. Germany, France and other European countries. British North America, Mexico, Central America, West Indies. Argentine Repub- lie, Brazil. United States of Columbis and other countries of South America, Australia, Asa and OceBnIcs.
 Our sole leather seems to be kicking around pretty much all over the world. IL was sent ID the past year to England. Ireland and other European countries, British North America, West Indies. Asia Oceanica End elsewhere.
 Our agricultural implements tear up the soil in Great Britain, Germany France and other countries m Europe, Mexico, West ladies. Argentine RepGb he and other South American countries, Asia, Orenica, and Africa. Oar total exports for the year amount In value 10 nearly seven hundred million dollsrs.
